Why did Peyton pick UT over Ole Miss?

Why didn't he follow his father's footsteps?

I'm too young to know the recruiting story.

I'd assume because UT was relevant at the time, and Ole Miss was mediocre as always.

It had a lot to do with 2 things. Cooper having that spinal problem and no longer being able to play...Peyton wanted to play with his brother.

Also, Ole Miss was getting ready to go on probation at the time of his recruitment which I believe really swayed him from Ole Miss.

Because Ole Miss was about to get hit with the worst probation since SMU at the time of his recruitment, and Archie didn't get along with tommy tuberville.

didnt exactly hurt Eli. The better question is why all the Ole Miss folks, such as my wife, still love Peyton?

Because his decision was understandable given the circumstances he would have found himself in at Ole Miss. We got stuck with a terrible probation, and were lucky to field teams that were as competitive as they were playing with a little over 50 scholarships for a while.

Knew his brother would win bigger games in the NFL someday, so he figured he better have the best shot possible at winning big games in college.

Peyton never did anything wrong to hate him. I believe he puts money into the program along with Archie, Eli, and Cooper.

Tuberville wasn't big on the Mannings. When he was coaching at Ole Miss....he was dead set on getting Tyler Campbell and skipping over Eli. Eli was set on choosing between Texas and Virginia before Cutcliffe arrived in Oxford.
